Crayon Caddy Part 2

I made a handful of these and posted about them awhile back. I quickly realized that using a tie to hold them closed was no good. Why, you ask? Because I have two little girls and only one has acquired the skill of tying bows (and this is a fairly recent accomplishment).

Since I am the designated shoe tier, I decided that I needed to revamp my crayon holders a bit.. I'm pretty happy with this new version made from a pattern I purchased on Etsy. So happy that I made seven last week! I've got to get a jump on inventory for fall craft shows and my Etsy store. Look for them in my store soon!

The Crayon Caddy

My sister asked me if I could make one of these, so here it is. Most of the crayon holders I've seen just hold crayons, but I thought it would be more useful if it held paper, too. So, I adapted the patterns for the crayon only holder and came up with this. Each one holds 12 crayons and a refillable pad of paper. They roll up and tie closed so they can be put in a backpack, purse or diaper bag. Cute way to take a craft on the go!

My next batch I'll have to fancy up a bit for my two fancy girls. They are each getting one in their stocking!
